My original version is useless then :(

Aali's driver doesn't allow for any mod but SeeD -- so kind of.  Until there is a way to convert the old PC version to the new PC version (which i doubt will ever happen), there will be no way to use the mods on the 'old' version of FF8.
 
Hi, i'm playing with the fr version, how can i instal the "FF8 UV Fix Patcher by Maki"  and keep my fr launcher please?

I don't know if the UV fix will work with any other languages other than English.  I've asked maki for the Hext codes, because every language has different memory locations... you should post a comment on his UV patcher thread.
 
Hi! I just registered to say that your work is awesome I saw your work via youtube!!
Well, that isn't all. I have a doubt about the LunarCry, do i have to rename ''en'' to my language (In my case es or sp i guess) or it will work anyways? I installed Lunatic pandora (The exe that does all the work for you) but my version of steam has Spanish preselected and it didnt work properly, so...  well I decided to install the mods on my own :3! Thankyou, and sorry if this isn't the proper thread to post this!
In other, and if this isnt buzzing too much >-<!! I would like to know if there is some new mods about to be released o-o so that I can wait to play FF8 (even tought am dying to play ;-; it)
Thankyou another time and byeby!!!
 
Great collection of mods and I did purchase the Pandora mod pack. Playing through the game when I came across the part where squall is carrying Rinoa on the train tracks to Esthar their bodies disappear behind a block whenever they pass a light pole.  I did a fresh install leaving out Project Eden and Rebirth Flame

 I thought by chance that might fix what I saw plus some other odd glitches or blimps/misplaced lines in the background.  I think using Edens textures with Angelwings hashmaps has some hiccups.  Unfortunately, I didn't save anywhere around the train tracks so I'll have to track down a save at that point to see if this fixes it.  I also notice that the characters blink their eyes with the original textures.  I actually would like a character mod that upscales the current pixels much like Angelwings backgrounds.  The characters are a little too plastic in Rebirth Flame if you know what I mean.

Otherwise great set of mods!  I look forward to more and hopefully a Final Fantasy VIII remake before I die.  One can hope.

Thanks McIndus. I've been lurking the forums around here since 2005-ish and it's incredible to see how far the FF8 mods have come. Needless to say I paid for the modpack straight up!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year all!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and drop those kind words on us!  I hope you love the mods!
 
Hello I donated the suggested amount and got the installer.  Everything seemed to install fine, but when I run Lunatic Pandora I get as follows

FF8_Launcher.EXE deos not exsist

Attempting to load by Process Name (FF8_EN.EXE)...
Still Wating... click "PLAY!"

I have no play button to click how ever and I cannot seem to get any further then this.  Any help?
 
If you installed it and it created a duplicate folder FINAL FANTASY VIII/FINAL FANTASY VIII/ - then make sure you dump the contents of the duplicate folder into the main FINAL FANTASY VIII/ folder.  It looks like that might be your issue, jubs.  If this doesn't solve the problem, please email me at [email protected] so that we can resolve your issues :)
 
i have the hope to play FF VIII with mods that add new magics, GFs ,etc i know its difficult but i want it xD, thx for all this mods on this post

Hello, Mcindus.

I want to make a big progress with FF8's background fields, they are 4x than original(new custom fields use my custom photos and datas.)

but I don't know how to output and arrange like project Eden and project Angelwing.

Can you contact me with personal message?
 
Created an account just to say thanx for what you did to my favorite final fantasy game!
 
Hi Mcindus, thanks again for the mods. But I am not able to download the pandora installer. I've already used up all 3 tries. :( All those tries failed. It seems the s3 bucket link is only available for 10mins. After 10mins the s3 links would be dead and my on-going downloads just fails.

Is there other ways of buying the installer. I don't mind buying it again as long as the expiration is not 5-10mins (Impossible to download 2gb with my measly 20mbps internet)

That is a funky issue!  Just email me at mcindusmods @ gmail.com and i'll hook you up with a new link that will hopefully be more stable.
 
Hi, I am playing this game again with this mods. I downloaded Tonberry Enhanced2.04, Apocalypse 1.2, HorizonPack v3.0, LunarCry_v1.5, Project_Eden_v1.0, SeeDReborn v3.5, Tripod v1.1, Upscaled, FF8_ControllerButtons_Xbox360, Roses and Wines. Followed the steps to install it from a video in youtube (
). Disable Steam Overlay but the game won't start. I tried installing them one by one starting from wines and roses. It worked fine and the music are great. But when I installed Tonberry Enhanced 2.04 the game wont start. I need help. Thanks

You might need to download the directx9 june2010 end user runtimes.  Try doing a search for 'mcindus mods guide ff8 steam' on google, and in that guide, I provide a link to the download in the 'troubleshooting' section.  You also might need to update your microsoft vc++ redistributable files, but I would try the directx9 fix first.
 
Hi Mcindus

First of all thanks for the Lunatic Pandora Installer, it's really great to have all the best mods in one single package :-) I just have some questions regarding the installation, after donating I extracted the first Installer in my FFVIII steam path which is located in S:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VIII, this went without issues however once I run the LP Installer.exe that is created inside the folder the files get installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VIII which is a path that is created during the installation.

If I try to run the FF8_Ultra_Launcher from here it obviously fails indicating that can't find the FF8_Launcher.exe so what I have done is just copy/paste all the files crated by the LP installer to my Steam folder in S: Drive, the mods have been working so far after this but I'm not sure if by moving the files I would have issues later.

I've checked your LP Troubleshooting in your Steam guide and it says that LP must be installed in the parent FF folder however I'm not sure if you refer to the first installer that is unzipped or the second one that is the proper .exe that install the Mods, is there a way to change the path during the "second" installation of your pack? or is correct to just move the files to the correct drive where steam is installed in my case.

In any case thanks for all the great Mods!
